Burned trees of Pacific Woods Estate

Impact on Nature

Yes, even the land itself was affected. Of the seven acres, it was necessary to clear about 2-3 acres of it for the safety of us, the horses, and any workers. Even most of the topsoil burned away.

Photos before, during, and after cleanup. I would be able to include many more photos, but after nearly four years, I still haven't been able to access the creek that runs through our property --- there's simply too much burned debris in the way.
